About This Dumpling Workshop
(Korean & Turkish Style)
Join artist LuLu Meng, alongside collaborators Eunjoo Song (South Korea) and Büşra Bü (Türkiye), for a cozy afternoon of folding, tasting, and storytelling. We see the dumpling as a metaphor for people — varied in shape, texture, and "filling," just like us. There's no pressure for perfection here; imperfection is a gentle entry point for connection.
The Exchange — Eunjoo and Büşra share authentic techniques and flavors from home, opening a window into their heritage and family rituals.
The Making — Get your hands in the dough and learn both Korean- and Turkish-style folds in a warm, communal studio.
The Fusion — Mix folding styles, pair unexpected fillings, and make it your own.
The Roles — Shift between maker, server, guest, and host — everyone co-creates the meal.
The Find — In honor of LuLu's grandfather, a lucky penny is hidden in one dumpling. Find it, and good fortune is yours for the year.
What's Included
Guided, hands-on dumpling-making instruction
All fresh ingredients, tools, and recipe cards
A full cooking, tasting, and dining session to close out the workshop
